I concur with your sentiment but I think informing people/kids about how much information they're leaking is A Good Thing.
Unfortunately, most folks (including the kid in the story) have some expectation of privacy even though they've unwittingly given it up. Especially when fragments are given up in seeemingly separate places, yet reconstructing them is as trivial as a Google search.
That kid in the OP is probably going to get quite a surprise when his Dad asks him about the message he sent.
- shanselman 15y agoI talked to the Dad earlier this evening and the kid had NO IDEA that this info was leaking out. This issue isn't about being a helicopter parent or about being paranoid. It's simply about being aware. You tell a teen to put their wallet in their front pocket and you should tell them to click off on location services. This is just one of a thousand life lessons.
